Tottenham vs Manchester United: Red Devils snatch draw from the jaws of victory after dramatic finish

The Red Devils went from being on the brink of a victory to being on the brink of a defeat against Tottenham Manchester United had to rely on a 96th-minute Mathijs de Ligt goal to rescue a point away to Tottenham despite leading the match for more than 50 minutes. The Red Devils took the lead just after the half-hour mark thanks to Bryan Mbeumo, but two late goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison put them in a losing position before De Ligt's last gasp equaliser. Tottenham vs Man Utd: How it happened Tottenham fell behind after a sluggish start, as Manchester United made their first real chance count through Mbeumo’s superb header from Amad Diallo’s cross. The Cameroonian, October’s Premier League Player of the Month, continued his fine form with his fifth goal in nine games against Spurs. Despite showing more urgency after the break, Tottenham’s attempts to equalise were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who pulled off brilliant saves from Cristian Romero and João Palhinha. Brennan Johnson thought he had levelled, but his composed finish was ruled out for offside. Manchester United threatened again through Bruno Fernandes, but substitute Mathys Tel eventually drew Spurs level with a clever turn and deflected finish after coming off the bench. The hosts then looked destined for victory when Wilson Odobert’s strike was redirected into the bottom corner by Richarlison late on. However, a lapse in concentration proved costly, as United responded immediately in stoppage time. From Fernandes’ corner, de Ligt rose highest at the back post to nod home and earn the Red Devils a dramatic 2-2 draw, extending their unbeaten run to five matches while denying Spurs a much-needed win.
